Cool review, thanks Cody!
Thanks Kiefer!
Another great review Cody 🧠. Looking forward to the release of the full interview with Max Newlon.
Thanks Ben! I'll have it out this weekend.
A great device and concept! Unlike Muse, it trains to be relaxed while acting, creates a state of flow. I wish there were more focus games, IMO, they reflect the core purpose of this device. Also, it would be amazing to have an SDK and build our own tools using the device's output. For example, I would be interested in real-time feedback/notifications when I become calm, so that I can get back to or focus more on the current task - a somewhat different approach from what FocusCalm is doing now.
Nice one Cody good stuff
Thank you lion!
Thanks for these amazing videos. Please do a comparison of Hapbee and neorhythm.
Yes that sounds like a good one to do this summer!
Thanks Cody. I appreciate you telling us the costs and the need for buying the software.
I have had a Muse S for two months and I am quite happy with it. But I'll keep an eye on FocusCalm for maybe a future purchase.
Sounds good Keith, thanks for the comment!
Sent by Charles Hoskinson.... Mr Cardano himself giving you a shout out, you are in good company brother. Great content.
Thanks, I really appreciate the comment! I was trying to figure out where all these new subscribers came from and now I know!
Can you do a review on Mendi? Also compare it to other devices that you like. Keep up the great work
I just got one about three weeks ago. I also have a (original muse user)muse 2. I got it for the neurofeedback features.
Awesome, hope your testing goes well :)
Hoe do you like it for neurofeedback?
I am interested in that device but I am not having a mind of a professional racer where I need to squeeze out that extra 2%. My issues are far lower level.
I have big problems for getting into the zone in the first place and also keeping any focus or attention for a longer time. I have looked into Mendi, Neorythm and now this one. What would you suggest?
I would definitely keep an eye on Mendi. They are coming out with a great software update this summer that should very much help you get in the zone for long periods of attention. I would go with the Mendi.
looks cool, I'd like to see an (honest) comparison with equivalent products.
The app subscription seems a bit sketchy, probably a way to make it look cheaper than it eventually turns out... thanks for mentioning this.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes I will be comparing it to others in the coming weeks/months
Great review. Question- is it possible to have multiple user profiles on one subscription? In other words, could two people in the same family use it and have two data sets?
I believe you have to get different subscriptions for each user unfortunately
Hey cody, I'm debating on whether or not to go with the Focus Calm, Muse 2, or Mendi.... The primary goal I have is to work on my PTSD... I would like a device that would allow me to change my brainwaves and condition my nervous system to be calm when encountering situations I find triggering.
Hi Hunter, it sounds like you should try grounding techniques with the Muse Headband :)
Firstly thank you for the FocusCalm code. It works and I got $25 off. I have used the Muse Gen 2 for about a year and was consistent in using it for a year. I actually learned how to get the bird tweets to increase. But I just could not get my mind to be consistently calm. It got so bad I could not even start the meditation. The videos on FocusCalm and Mendio were hugely beneficial. I was convinced that there is scientific support for their effectiveness. I chose the FocusCalm since there were more exercises in the application, though of course that comes as price - currently about $69 per year (if you do not get the lifetime subscription). The Mendio fNIRS was a fascinating technology, but I think I would get bored with the one exercise day after day. So hoping at 60 years of age there is a noticeable increase in calm and executive level cognition. We will see, I am convinced that it can work. So thanks again Dr. Cody.
Oh, and if anyone thinks that the Mendi might have been better, please post a response and let me know. I have 30 days to return.
It doest not work the lifetime suscription. Have país an not working
Anyone knows how to contact supporg centre of focus calm. Because they dont reply
Just bought one. I’ve been emailing support for a week now about if they have an API available, their kickstarter also looks a bit sketchy, people still don’t have devices even though they are for sale, retail. Their app also isn’t very polished.
I may return and get a Crown or Mendi.
Did they answered about the API?
can I buy it?
Alpha algorithm - how it works? Is it only alpha relative to others OR also synchrony between hemispheres?
Out of all the wearable tech, which in your experience is themost useful for training to enter flow state?
Also the device has been featured in Chinese schools and u can find several videos about it on youtube.
Yes, very interesting. Max said it was good for research (and they will continue to do projects like that) but they decided to pivot to more direct-towards-consumer for this device
I’m a physician !! What are the differences between this device vs neorythm and muse ? What do you recommend for a 16 year old who just needs some help with relaxing and focusing better while studying
I've made some other videos that compare these. Focus Calm would be a good one to use for improving focus for studying. I tend to use Muse and NeoRhythm more for meditation training. Hope that helps!
@@CodyRallMD thanks Cody. I have seen your video comparing Muse vs Neorythm but didn’t see one comparing FocusCalm headband vs muse vs neorythm. I’d like to email you re possible collaboration with my patients And your services. I’m an interventional Pain and Spine specialist and we were doing fMRI on patients with pain and doing simultaneous live biofeedback and meditation modalities long before these devices came out. Now with these devices there are so many things we do to help these patients. What’s your email ?
In short, NeoRhythm does active stimulation (and doesn't measure anything) while Muse and this are passive devices (measuring things), though the games in the FocusCalm are of course affected by those measurements.
Can you please make a video about the app walkthrough, especially the games. Im interested in the band, but i cant find more details online about the app and what it actually does. Thank you Dr Cody for your awesome work
Great request Silviu, I will have to go more in-depth on the app games on the next video. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@CodyRallMD Any update on the video?
Which one would you recommend for a 9 year old autistic kid with ADHD, anxiety and anger issues? To calm, focus on breathing and getting aware if feelings?
It might be a challenge, but I would go with the Muse S. It should help teach how to calm down and sit still. And the adjustable band should fit their head better.
@@CodyRallMD challenge as in to recommend one? Or do you think it might not really help that much after all?
This is bogus
What is bogus about it?
Meditation and mindfulness has unfortunately become a multi million dollar racket. People are selling all kinds of books and gadgets that are unnecessary. Just do it if you want but I’m not sold that meditation solves that many problems.
@@louisethomas8074 So training your mind with brain data is bogus? Is managing weight with scales bogus? Is managing diabetes with blood sugar levels bogus?
